A CONSERVATIVE RALLY.
BRIGHT'S EXPLANATION OF TORY
IsMS ASCENDENCY

He Favors Sending Irish Bills to q
Grand Committee Composed of Irish
Members-He is Satisfied, However,
that the So-C allied Rebels will not
Allow his Plan to Work.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-The annual meeting
of the National Union of Conservatives
opened at Oxford to-day Mr.. Ashmead
Bartlett, member of Parliament, presided.
One thousand delegates were present, repre-
senting England, Wales, Scotland and Ire
land. An address congratulating the Queen
upon her jubilee was adopted
A resolution in favor of free trade was
carried by a large majority, and one in
favor of reform of the English Church was
adopted unanimously.
A letter was read from Mr. Bright re-
ferring to his proposal TO send Irish
bills to a grand committee composed
of Irish members. In his letter Mr.. Bright
says; 'The rebel party will not accept the
proposal, because they are rebels, and with
the rebel Irish members in the House Of
Commons the plan would not be allowed to
work. Mr.. Gladstone has hobby in which
the rebel leaders for time have agreed to
join him. He is committed TO that
hobby and cannot condescend to consider a
plan less pretentious, but more reasonable
than his. Nothing can be done until M
Gladstones bills have been entirely got rid
Of He insists upon impossible legislation
for Ireland to the exclusion of
legislation for the whole The Glad
stonians are anxious to return to power and
they are furious because the Conservatives
are in Office, and they blame me and others
for keeping them there. They seem blind
to the fact that Mr.. Gladstones conduct put
the Conservatives in office. They
forget that the electors of
Great Britain by majority
of nearly two to one condemned Mr.. Glad
stones bills and destroyed his Ministry.
We cannot allow Mr. Gladstone TO return
to Office on his Irish policy. prefer to
join hands with Lord Salisbury and his col
leagues rather than with Mr.. Parnell and
his friends, the leaders of the rebellion"
The differences in the Garlic Athletic As
sociation which led to the withdrawal of a
number of the members, who accused
other members of an intention TO c ash with
the national league and form n Fenian as
sociation, are about to be adjusted. Messrs.
Fitzgerald, Dillon and Father Scalarn have
arrived at Thurls and will have a conference
tomorrow with Archbishop Croke, the
founder of the Gaelic Association, and one
of the members who resigned.

tion suppressing the national league i'll

FOREIGN MAILS.
A Satisfactory Showing Made in the
Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov 22-The annual re-
port of Superintendent of Foreign Mails Bell
shows an increase in the transatlantic mails
of 1889 per cent. Of letters and 10 per cent
of other articles. Central and South Amer
ican mails show an increase of 1921 per
cent. for letters and 20. 40 for other articles.
The mails to Venezuela have largely
increased, and to Central American
States SO per cent. The increase is at
tributed to increased business relations, and
the fact that the number of vessels sailing
from the United States to these countries
has steadily increased during the last five
years bears this out.
The cost of the service was S437 ,447, of
which $429,036 was compensation for sea
conveyance, an increase for the year of
$4,000.
Thirteen parcel post conventions are ex-
pected to be concluded within the next few
months with South and Central American
States and the West India Islands, by which
many custom complications now causing
annoyance will be removed
For the next fiscal year S647 900 is asked
On the Central and Southern American
service, the report says it is as good as can
be obtained under the present system OF dis
patching the mails by vessels when
loaded
The vessels rendered to the department to
convey these mails on a certain DAY fre-
quently sail several days before or after the
time appointed, to the annoyance of cor
respondents He suggests as one
means of correcting this evil, that
the Postmaster General be author
lied by law to allow additional
compensation over and above that now al
lowed to vessels engaged i'll the service. A
system of premium and penalties might
tins be mutually agreed upon by the de-
partment and steamship companies which
would make it to the advantage of the
steamship companies to adhere closely to
their schedule sailing dates, whereby the
efficiency of the service would be materially
increased and the commercial interests of
the country benefited

A DENSE PAIL OF SMOKE.
FOREST FIRES STILL RAGING WITH
UNABATED FURY.

Boats Unable to Run at Night Owing
to the Impossibility ofSeeing Through
the Smoke-The Woods Still all
Ablaze Between Memphis and Bir-

MEMPHIS, TENN. Nov 22-The sun hung
IN the skies like ball of fire all day, and at
times was almost obscured by dense smoke,
which hovers over and around the city. 1t
is the same story that has been told for the
past week of forest fires which
continue to rage with unabated fury.
Sam Tate, Jr., who arrived this forenoon
from Birmingham, Ala, via the Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad,
reports fires all along the route between
Memphis and Birmingham. They have
been particularly destructive in the neigh
borhood of Kerrville, Tenn, on the line of
the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
railroad, where many miles of fences have
been destroyed.
A special to the Erening SciB1itdr from
Brownsville, Tenn, says: "The forest fires
in the Hatichi bottom are very alarming,
and the scarcity of water makes it almost
impossible to put them out. The Lagoon
bottom is also on fire All the local packets
are twenty-four to seventy-two hours be-
hind time owing to the dense smoke, which
prevents them from running at night The

Attorney General Garland Renders an
Opinion Concerning Settlers.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Attorney Gen
eral Garland has, in long opinion, decided:
l. That bona fide purchasers of unclaimed
railroad lands are those who, without knowl-
edge of wrong or error, have purchased
from a railroad company lands which had
been previously entered by presumption or
homestead settler, whose entry had been
erroneously cancelled, and which land the
pre-emption or homestead settler did not
elect to claim after recovery by the proper
proceedings
2. That the department, after the adjust
ment of land grant cannot issue patent
to the purchaser of the land until it is legal
ly determined that the patent TO the rail
road had been enormously issued, and,
3. That where railroad company has
sold to a citizen. lands not conveyed TO the
company, the citizen can purchase from the
United States at tie ordinary government
prices for like lands, either within the pri-
mary or indemnity limits.
Upon receipt of the opinion Secretary
Lamar directed the Commissioner Of the
General Land Office TO proceed at once, and
with as much dispatch as possible, to adjust
all land grants under the act of March 3,

Among the other business places in the

rant For nearly two blocks buildings were
considerably injured, and a severe shock was
felt for miles around Contractor Phil
lips, who was endeavoring to ascer-
tain the cause of smoke issuing
from the tool box, was caught
unawares by the explosion and blown across
the street and dangerously injured. Several
children in the street were knocked down by
the force of the explosion, and many per-
sons escaped the flying fragments as if by
miracle. The dynamite was used in the
construction of sewers and some of it
was placed upon a heater to be
kept in readiness for blasting. The
heater consisted of a screen, under which
was small lamp. In some way the fire of
the lamp was communicated to the dyna-
mite, thereby causing the explosion.

INDIANA'S DROUGHT.
All the Surface Wells and Streams are
Dried Up.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22-The Daily Nelos'
special from Plainfeld, Ind, says: "The
drought in this section of the stricken dis
trict remains unhroken, and the present in
dications are that cold weather will set in be-
fore the greatly needed deluee of rain comes.
If it should the present distressing state of

tants are suffering from a genuine water
famine, the worst ever known in the

viously had afforded apparently an mex

Some of the Changes Made by the New
Law Now in Effect.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 22.-The new
customs law, promulgated to-day, imposes a
tax upon the imports of plants, flowers,
onions and medicinal herbs, and raises the
duty on raw cotton, cotton wool, cotton
twist, tulle, lace, farming machines and i'm
plements, joinery, turnery, flax, hemp
and jute goods, valuable hardware, watches,
clocks, glasswork, glass and metal beads
and buttons, fresh oranges, lemons and
pomegranates, herrings, cod, dried fish and
spices.
The Nouosti proposes that the govern
ment as an experiment establish free trade
relations with free trade coun-
tries and largely increase the
prohibitive duties against German
goods as an act of revenge. The Minister
of Finance has submitted a scheme for
saving 100000 roubles annually by
economy in the public Offices and reduc-
tion of the railway subsidies.
Other new duties are as follows: On cot
ton, imports by sea, 100 kopecks per pood

CARLISLE TO BE SPEAKER.
Mr.. Springer Thinks There is No Doubt
of His Reflection.

OF his fe-El6CGlOn.
CHICAGO, Nov 22.-CQpgressman Spring
er, who is in the city, said yesterday in an
interview that all the indications point to
the election of Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker of
the Fiftieth Congress. In recognizing the
committees of the House, Mr.. Springer
said, Mr.. Carlisle would doubtless carry
out the courtesies which generally prevail
and, where there was nothing else in the
way, retain the present chairmen of i'm
portant committees, if the incumbents so de-
sired There would have to be a new
chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means on account of the retirement of Mr.
Morrison, of Illinois. Mr.. Mills. of Texas
stood next on the committee and it was
possible that he would be made chairman
unless the Speaker decided to consider the
claims of old-time members who, on ac-
count of seniority of service in the House,
were sometimes rendered important chair
manshipS. With reference to the proposed
new legislation on the tariff Mr.. Springer
thought that there would be an effort made
TO agree upon some measure reducing tax
Rtion. The only article thus far thought of
rs a certainty for reduced rate was tobac-
90. Mr.. Springer said he was in favor of
free wool and he would reduce the tax on
manufactured articles SO chat no article
should pay over 40 per cent. ad valorem.
With reference to the Dakota Statehood
question, Mr.. Springer as member of the
Committee on Territories, said he should
favor the admission of Dakota as one State

one of the millionaire pork packers of Chi

Mr.. Fowler is also an operator on Change,

don. The plaintiff, cook formerly in his
employ, has been living for weeks in the
house of a detective who was dismissed from
the city police, and who now works up
crooked business. Recently several leading
business men have been the victims of black
mailers on the eve of social affairs at their
home, prefering TO pay rather than run the
risk of disgraceful sensations. Mr.. Fowler
has resolved upon the opposite course Ar
rests are expected that will di' close a nest of

Last Weeks Conference at Berlin
The Forgery Believed by the Ger

Some of the Orleanists.
BERLIN, Nov. 22-The North Germdn
Gazette, Prince Bismark's organ, says the
interview between the Gar and Prince Bis
marck on Friday last, was of friendly and
very comprehensive character The Car
complained of the policy Of Germany, es.
pecially her policy toward Bulgaria. which,
he said was directed against Russia,
as letters received at the Russian
Foreign Office showed Prince Bismarck
indicated that Germany always regarded
Bulgaria as lying within the shpere of Rus
sian interest, and acted in that spirit when
ever no strictly German interests were in
volved. He expressed desire TO see the
letters the Car had mentioned. He then
formulated at length Germanys complaints
against Russia. The Gar was attentive,
and promised on his return to st. Peters
burg to better inform hi mself on the ques.
tions on which these complaints were
founded, and to arrive at decision ac-
cordingly.
FORGED LETTER.
The Cologne Gazette has caused sensa-
tion by statement that the Car, in his re-
cent interview with Prince Bismarck learned
that he had been deceived in regard to Ger
many's policy by forged letter purporting
TO be from Prince Bismarck. The letter
is supposed to be the work of Orleanist in
tIiguers. On the Cars arrival at the

PITTsBURG, Nov. 22.-The steel workers
wages scale for 1888, which is to go into
effect on Jan. /, is about ready to be taken
to the manufacturers to be signed. The
new scale has been carefully revised and
fixed. The prices for wages by the ton and
day has been so arranged that every work
man in a steel mill outside of a
increase amounting to about 10 per cent. all
around will be asked for, except on few
points on which it will be considerably
more. The new scale calls for work to be
paid for by the hour or day, which is a
movement to do away with the contract
system more than the one job system.
